Once wastewater goes down the drain from your sink, tub, or toilet, it is carried to a connecting pipe called a sewer line. The sewer line carries wastewater from your home to the municipal sewer system or septic tank. It is vital that the sewer line is correctly installed and well-maintained, because otherwise, there is a very high risk that the sewer line will become backed up, which will prevent it from draining properly and disposing of your wastewater. In some cases, the blockage may even cause raw sewage to back up inside your home, causing significant damage. Another potential problem is that dangerous sewer gases may leak into your home, which is a serious problem because they are toxic, (possibly causing fatal asphyxiation) and explosive. Therefore, your sewer line should be examined ASAP by a certified Toronto plumber and, if necessary, fixed immediately. Because your home’s sewer line is buried on yoiur property, it is considered part of your home. As a result, it is your responsibility as a homeowner to keep your property’s sewer line in good working order. The sewer pipe, which is part of the sewer line, is not something most people think about on a daily basis, even though it plays a huge role in transporting waste out of your home. It is generally “out of sight, out of mind”… until something goes wrong…
Flushing certain items, such as paper towels, feminine hygiene products and some types of tissue, can lead to a clog in the sewer line, either in one of the branch pipes or the main sewer pipe. You need to be careful about what you flush, c but sometimes the source of the clog is beyond your control. For example, tree roots are a major source of SEWER PIPE BLOCKAGE.
If your MAIN SEWER LINE is clogged, cleaning and repairing it yourself is incredibly challenging if you don’t have the proper training or equipment, and not to mention, it is a massive, unsanitary mess. That’s where Mister Plumber’s team of qualified and highly trained technicians comes in, equipped to handle any SEWER LINE and DRAIN REPAIR.
In the past, finding the source of a SEWER LINE PROBLEM involved guesswork and lots of digging. Today, OUR PLUMBERS use state-of-the art video equipment to find the source of the problem, without disturbing your yard. We thread a waterproof video camera into the sewer line, which is able to see where roots have invaded the pipe or if it has collapsed – all without any digging.
The difficult thing about keeping your SEWER LINE in good condition is that you can’t see it, so you don’t know right away when there’s a problem. When there’s a problem with your SEWER LINE, your house will tell you.
Common Warning Signs Include:
This can be a very early sign of a drainage problem. If multiple drains are affected, it is likely that the problem is in the SEWER LINE.
If the problem is restricted to one drain, the main sewer line may not be affected. If multiple drains are affected, it is more likely that the MAIN SEWER LINE could have an issue.
Sometimes water or sewage starts backing up in the drains without any of the above warning signs. It is vital to call a plumber immediately. In the meantime, it’s best to avoid using any water in order to reduce the risk of the drains backing up and flooding your home.
If your SEWER PIPE is damaged, it needs to be repaired or replaced immediately. One or two damaged spots can be repaired without having to replace the entire line. If the SEWER PIPE is badly damaged, then SEWER LINE REPLACEMENT is the less disruptive and best choice. REPAIRING OR REPLACING A SEWER LINE in Etobicoke, Toronto, Mississauga can take anywhere from one day to several days to complete. Traditional SEWER PIPE REPAIR uses a backhoe or a crew to dig up the area around the sewer line to make it accessible for repairs or replacement. For repairs, only the damaged section of pipe is exposed so it can be patched. If the pipe needs to be replaced, the entire length of the pipe is exposed. This can be somewhat disruptive to the yard but it is the best choice in order to have a permanent solution to the problem and prevent future backups. A newly installed SEWER PIPE has a long lifespan as long as it’s well-maintained. PVC pipes have a lifespan of up to 100 years or more, provided they’re protected from tree root damage, corrosive drain cleaners, and other things that cause blockage or damage. Whatever it takes to fix the problem, Mister Plumber makes every effort to minimize the disruption to your home. The amount of disruption that’s necessary often depends on where a SEWER LINE is laid and what’s around it.
There are several situations that can lead to SEWER LINE PROBLEMS.
Depending on the nature of your problem, Mister Plumber may be able to perform spot-repairs on damaged sections of pipe. If the damage is too extensive, we will recommend that the sewer line be completely replaced.

pipe repair in Toronto
Repairing side sewer lines is done using a variety of methods. The goal of any sewer line repair project is to cause as little disruption to the landscaping, sidewalks, yards, and patios as possible. There are options that require no excavation, like CIPP, pipe bursting and point repair. Unfortunately however, sometimes excavation cannot be avoided.
By using our video inspection and sewer locating technology, we can determine the extent of the damage and asses whether we can use a trenchless repair method, like CIPP, pipe bursting or point repair. If we cannot use a trenchless method, then traditional open trench excavation may be required. Sometimes, if the pipes are too damaged in too many locations, then trenchless technology may not be an option.
Because our technicians are trained and licensed plumbers, you can be assured that the method we use will be the most cost effective, efficient, and affordable. Our sewer and plumbing experts will assess your sewer line and make a recommendation for repair by using one the following methods:
This is the most commonly used method of sewer repair and construction. Using a backhoe, we dig up the old pipes and replace them with new ones. Once the old pipe is replaced, the trench is backfilled. This process can be expensive and messy and we will try and avoid it at all costs, especially if we can use more modern techniques like trenchless repair, pipe bursting or CIPP as an alternative.
Trenchless technology to repair a side sewer line allows us to repair your drain and sewer lines without excavating across your property. Additionally, trenchless repairs are more cost effective than excavation. With trenchless repair, our plumbers locate a single access point to the sewer line, and from there we clean the existing pipeline using a hydrojet.
There are a few types of trenchless repair methods:
